A presentation made by the Board of Commissoners to County Council concerning the P25 upgrade for 911 dispatch and ancillary issues related to the Consolidated Communications Partnership.

1. CCP Budget and Funding of
911 Upgrade
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS- 6/21/2012

2. Overview of CCP/911 Issues
 2012 budget shortfall and necessary action
 Update on revisions to CCP Interlocal
 Possible relocation of 911 dispatch center
 P25 upgrade project and funding discussions

3. 2012 CCP Budget
 During Interlocal negotiations, some City expenses
were inadvertently left out (radio shop, etc)
 Agreement calls for 70/30 split based, so County’s
30% number constrains City’s 70% number
 ‘Gap’ is between CCP budget and amount provided
under Interlocal formula
 Budget assumed all E911 revenues would be
contributed, whereas only wired was appropriated
 City and County both contributing to ‘gap’ funding

4. Amendments to CCP Interlocal
 Amendments are needed to address known issues
 Fix perpetual shortfall resulting from unknown budget items
not included in negotiations of original Interlocal
 Changes to operations board of CCP
 Clarification that all E911 fees will go to CCP
 Clarification of what happens if CCP budget needs to increase
 Revisions have been discussed between Mayor,
Commissioner and CCP attorneys

5. 911 Dispatch Relocation
 Previous cursory study showed Rousseau Centre
basement could be modified to create minimal
additional square footage, but as it stands now, is not
best suited for the new system
 Looking at locations outside of Rousseau Centre
 Hoping to work with community partners
 Space needs to allow for opportunities for regional
dispatch in the future

6. Upgrade to new 911 system
 Multiple negotiation sessions with Motorola
 Motorola has given discounts and incentives beyond the bid
price
 Final negotiated price of $16,986,484
 City share @ $9,826,277
 County share@ $7,160,207
 Radios @ $2,904,436
 50% of Backbone @ $4,255,771

7. How do we pay for it?
 Finance Lease with outside lender
 Bond against future taxes or revenue
 Pay with cash

8. Commissioners’ Recommendation
 For County portion of 911 upgrade, use available
cash on hand
 CEDIT/COIT ‘windfall’ - $4.8M
 Rainy Day - $2.3M
 Appropriate $1.4M in July from E911 fund to fix ‘gap’
for 2012 budget
 Preserve remaining balance of E911 fund for possible
911 relocation and cash reserve for CCP
